I'm not sure that the accelerated flushing of the nicotine (the vitamin C cure) is going to prevent you from going crazy. Your body is used to that drug and that's what keeps you in a good mood, so going off of it gradually might be easier.
When I quit my 30 cigarettes a day habit, last year, I went on the patches for a month (I cut short to the recommended program and accelerated the steps a little bit). This prevented me from wanting to kill someone (figuratively, if it must be specified) while allowing me to concentrate on getting rid of the habit of lighting up every 10 minutes.
When I felt a craving that couldn't be quenched, I "smoked" (without lighting it) a stick of cinnamon.
Although it's true that the first weeks are the worst, it was hard for me for about 6 to 8 months, so you just have to hang in there. Of course, YMMV and all that stuff.
Good luck.
